This film is hilarious because in the first 30 seconds it looks like he’s about to come out as gay. The parallels between being Deaf and being gay are so similar. There are many parents don’t want to accept that their child is gay and there are many parents who do not want to accept that their child is Deaf. This short film is 6 1/2 minutes long. The plot is brilliant.
